Stavisky role drains democracy

Kristen Stavisky engaged in an obvious power grab by calling for a Democratic Rockland County meeting on Nov. 26 at an unheard-of hour of 5:30 p.m.

As chairwoman of the Democratic Party, she was determined to oust Democratic election commissioner, Ann Marie Kelly, who has done an excellent job, and assume that position for herself.

A handful of loyalists may have attended this meeting.

I could not attend, nor have I heard of one committee person who was able to attend. I'm sure that the near empty hall gave its approval to power politics. This is such an obvious conflict of interest that we really do not need the opinion of hacks at the so-called Ethics Board.

Between Ms. Stavisky and the previous chairman, Vince Monte, whatever democracy was left in the Democratic Party is quickly being drained out.
